Hi! I’m Ruby, a sixth grade student at the Amigos School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. As part of our science class, we’ve been “Ecosystem Investigators”, traveling from ecosystem to ecosystem in the Boston area. One of the ecosystems in the Boston area is the pond ecosystem in Black’s Nook Pond at the Maynard Ecology Center in Cambridge.
Me and my friends observing a threadworm we named Eddie.
"Ecosytem Investigators" Liam and Elisa are caught by surprise in the midst of recording their incredibly important pond data. Terribly sorry for interrupting your scientific discoveries! :-)
This is an energy pyramid of the pond ecosystem.
This is a food/energy web of the pond ecosystem.
This is a list of all the abiotic and biotic things at the pond ecosystem.
Other Stuff-
1. During our time at Black's Nook Pond, we looked for plankton by using a plankton net. If you would like to learn how to make one to catch
and observe your own plankton, click here.
2. If you don't find sufficient information on this page or the links are incorrect, feel free to post a discussion or edit my page.
Welcome to my Pond Ecosystem Page!!!
